- I always found it strange in Star Trek most of the alien species encountered can all produce offspring with each other, despite in some instances, even having completely different biology. I mean Vulcans have copper blood, how does that work?

Didnt Jadzia receive some gene therapy in ordet to be compatible with Worf?
yes, and Ka'lar mentions that gene treatments were needed to combine human and Klingon in a conversation with troi
Correct me if I'm wrong but I vaguely remember Phlox mentioning it in passing one time too but seemed to imply it was a bit of a hassle with the tech of the time.
I remember it mostly because Jadzia was so elated when Bashir told her about it......hours before Dukat killed her.
Connection Lost
Worf would so kill Bashir. Bashir better have augmented strength like previous augs did.
@@2bituser569 No, Bashir definitely did not have enhanced strength.
The Galaxy will know true fear when a Ferengi-Klingon Hybrid is born. Half ruthless warrior, half ruthless entrepreneur.
Didn't Quark come close to pulling that off a few times?
I actually think one of the novels had such a character. Hang me though if I could remember which one.
@@MrX-ok3jq quark did have an ex Klingon wife that he was still friendly with but I don't think they had a child. I don't remember but did quark even love her or was the marriage for political or practical reasons
@@jkm7983 Quark just wanted to bang, but he had to help her out politically with the Klingon High Council first.
"According to the 290th rule of Acquisition, if the transaction fee of 3 bars of Latinum is disputed, then it is a good day to die!"
I want to see a Klingon/Vulcan hybrid. They would have logical rage.
The closest thing to that was Ba'el in the Next Generation episode Birthright. She was a Klingon/Romulan hybrid.
@@BrotherDerrick3X That episode is pretty good.
Vulcans already had that rage. They weren't emotionless, they just denied their own emotions and suppressed them through force of will, displaying only logic. T'Pol states that paranoia and homicidal rage were common on Vulcan before the adoption of Surak's code of emotional control. So a Klingon/Vulcan hybrid's personality would depend largely on whether they subscribed to Klingon or Vulcan philosophies.
How about a Vulcan/Bajoran hybrid?
@@shibolinemress8913 Their face would be all ridge.
As my RPG gorn doctor says.
"Give me enough time, coffee and duct tape and there isn't any DNA starfleet medical can't make mix."
*Pfft!* All *I* need is half a gallon of Jager, a paint mixer, and the requisite DNA samples. 😀
Meanwhile, my Klingon Doctor;
"This, is a potato. *hands to human* THIS, is an Andorian starch-root. *hands to Andorian* The two of you have more genetics in common with those roots in your hands than you have in each-other! Even if I COULD make a half-breed abomination out of the two of you, WHY WOULD I EVER DO THAT?"
Human: "Isn't your daughter half-Bolian?"
"get out of my office."
@@spaceclaw1958 I'd watch a whole sitcom about this constantly exasperated Klingon doctor.
@SpaceClaw, throw them out of his office, I doubt it. it's more likely the Bat'leth would probably come off the wall.
@@spaceclaw1958 HadiBAH!
Something I want to point out, many humans can't get blood transfusions from each other but can still have children together. So it wouldn't really be surprising that vulcans and romulans could have children but couldn't get blood transfusions from each other.
That's a really good point.
Vulcans and Romulans are the same people. It would be the same for humans type and cross humans have different blood types,
Exactly.
We tend to forget such limits in the modern day. Also blood compatibility between mother and child only maters little as there is a seperator (the placenta) in all mammals.
@@christopherg2347it used to be major if mom was rH negative and baby was positive.
@@djackson4657 Indeed, Rhesus disease. www.nhs.uk/conditions/rhesus-disease/
Antibodies from the mothers blood cross the placenta and attack the babies blood.
One class of antibodies are a evolved exception to the blood seperation, as they provide early immunity for the kid.
I really want to see a Vulcazoid. The breeding of a Vulcan and Betazoid, A mix like that would have unparalleled psychic and telepathic abilities.
So probably a psychopath then...
@@nealjroberts4050 Maybe.
Or how about a Deltan/Betazoid hybrid?
Actually they would likely be insane.
vulcazoid 😂😂😂😂

@@DMSProduktions For lying is illogical.
@@Jay-ln1co Indeed!
They use a DNA translator for this. Just like they all use universal translators to speak English to us.
That actually makes sense. If they have a machine that can translate spoken words it would make since that they have something that can also translate dna between species so the pieces can fit. Thank you chocolate rain man
Actually, it is a Genetic editor, it uses trannsitional links and iso splicing patches.
Most people are Klingon hybrids especially when driving on the freeway! 🤯
It's all fun and games until someone pulls out a phaser with a bat'leth bayonet.
And I do mean the unergonomic razor-shaped phaser from early TNG lol
On Autobahn, they become Kahless.
Awesome!
Well Vulcans and Romulans are the same species. Their societies split only about 2,000 years before the 24th century. 2,000 years isn't that long of a time frame for significant evolution to occur.
And the lack of compatible blood donations indicates some serious inbreeding among the Romulans
Well there was alot of genetic engineering
Yeah. Their are a lot of other species related to vulcans and romulans to. I counted at least 17.
@@AnthonySmith-wc8ky - Well, the Romulans started off as a refugee group, so the initial gene pool could have been smaller than homeworld Vulcans. Also, Vulcans are suspiciously advanced as a race. One thing I have often wondered is if they augmented themselves long before they ever interacted with Humans. They would have had 20th/21st Century equivalent technology thousands of years in the past. Back before Humans came along, still paranoid over how they screwed up their own Augments and demanding that everybody else abide by their rules against genetic augmentation.
@@daniels7907 This would explain why Romulan's seem to be so physiologically inferior to Vulcan's (no telepathy, no super strength, basically just equivalent to humans); the Romulan's are almost as inbred as the Hapsburg's and the Vulcan's have genetically engineered themselves to be superior.
Excuse me, you left out HEIR TO THE HOLY RINGS OF BETAZED. Have some respect!
What respect her titles seem hollow & meaningless to me.
Are the Holy Rings of Betazed anything like the Holy Handgrenade of Antiochus?
@tylerx2f01 Lucy Lawless (Xena) was the voice actress for Goldmoon, Cleric of Mishakal in the D&D animated movie Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight.

Off topic, but imagine if Luxwana worked for StarFleet Intelligence, Commodore Oh would've been screwed and Utopia Planetia would still exist.
The only issue is being subtle…
"Oh silly girl, you're a Romulan spy"

-creates/modifies entire species for their own purposes
-seeds life throughout the galaxy
DOMINION CONFIRMED
I feel like a Betazoid/Vulcan would be a very interesting hybrid.
Just imagining the mental health issues hurts my head
Psionic logic and mood swings between emotions and none.
on one hand you have a character that can sense others emotions without having their own, on the other you wouldn't want pon farr to hit during "the phase".
@@rhiannongreen2642 Vulcans actually have very strong emotions. So strong to the point where several thousand years before first contact they were on the verge of annihilating themselves via nuclear warfare. Then a philosopher by the name of Surak decided that in order to control their emotions, they must devise a system of only acting on the logical basis. Vulcans that rejected this new philosophy fled to another planet and were newly deemed as “Romulans”.
Vulcans conceal their emotions very well but at few times may lose control. I.e. Spock having the heart of a poet, Tuvok having anger issues, T’Pol lashing out at and shattering an object in front of Captain Archer. I imagine a Betazoid-Vulcan hybrid would simply depend on which culture they are raised with. They can use their telepathy to navigate around situations in a highly logical way. There would be a clashing between the empathy and logic.
Indeed! They could be supertelepathic, or telepathic-empathetic, and in any case, they'd have to decide how to deal with their own and other's emotions, hopefully without becoming another Sybok!
"We cannot make a human-broccoli hybrid..."
But we never give up. We stay until the job is done.
No broccoli gf, why even live?
@@koroplays3200 nobody wants to settle for a greasy asparagus snack
Guild Wars 2 has this, they are called Sylvari.
The true heroes of our time.
Pretty sure most "Influencers" and their followers are human-broccoli hybrids.
In universe: We're all related.
In the writers room: I'm out of ideas... can they have a baby and we can make some quick drama?
Were all related because some alien's added something to our primordial ooze, yet all these billions of years later no matter how often its tried a successful cucumber human hybrid has yet to survive to term.even though we share a huge amount of DNA.
@@DrewLSsix To be fair, I doubt it's been tried with that goal even once, but I see your point; it would be impossible to get the hybrids we see in the franchise naturally and exceedingly difficult with even 39th century technology.
Yep. After billions of years of mutations, the precurser genes would have been so changed that the evolution of anything that looked like them would be purely coincidental, let alone be able to procreate with each other.
2nd writer: let's make Picard meets Q on Risa. that could be funny episode.
'Tuvix' is the most heart-wrenching story of a hybrid species in Trek.
Captain "killer" Janeway has entered the chat
Tuvok
@@carminemurray6624 Tuvix (Neelix and Tuvok)
Classic. It played better than a retread of "The Enemy Within" has any right to be.
A similar thing happened when the EMH had a “mental breakdown” over having to choose between saving Tom Paris’ life and the female crewman when they were both equally viable; Janeway just erases his memories without his consent.
Jem'Hadar and Klingon, do it star trek you coward!

I don't think Jem'Hadar have the right... equipment...
@@limiv5272 has not stopped 'me. Wait!
Sounds like something the founders would make in a lab.
That baby would come out of the womb/gestation chamber ready for battle!
It would have to be a hybrid of a Klingon female and a Jem'hadar male, since Jem'hadar have no females.
yes, my Vulcan-Andorian-Klingon hybrid is possible.
4:10
Ba'el had the forehead of her mother but also gained the ear shape of her father
Yes, Worf freaked when he saw the pointy ears! 'You are half ROMULAN!!!' He was devoed, cos he fell in love with her!
she also has that distinctive romulan brow, but it doesn't look too unusual compared to full klingons

Romulan-Vulcan isn't really a hybrid as the Romulans are descended from Vulcans during their expansionistic period per TOS.
They are genetically the same people..
@@djackson4657 but cant transfer blood? Seems like they have developed different in the few thousend years they were split
@@Gardstyle35 or is that Romulan propaganda.
Then we got a potential brand new people---Vulcan/Romulan-Human/Vulcan: the genesis seed. The story that I wish somebody would tell.
@@Gardstyle35 I think Romulans are more culturally different than physical. When T'Pol meets Trip in the stadium during Archer's speech, she thinks he's disguised as a Vulcan. Then she's told by Trip the danger he'll be facing disguised as a a Romulan, she cries after he leaves her. If she's cured of Pa'nar Syndrome and her Trellium addiction by 2161, why does she cry af least 2x?
The Klingon-Romulan girl DID have an outward sign she was a hybrid, but they were concealed by her hair. Pointed ears.

please, captain kirk you mean
All that human dominance in DNA,... is probably caused by Kirk having banged just about any alien species he came across. Resulting in their being lots of medical background information on how to deal with STD and make healthy human hybrids.
Andorian/Aenar hybrids would be no different than, say, an African/Scandinavian mix here in reality
Or a Romulan/Reman/Vulcan mix.
@@IceWolfLoki Remans are an entirely different species. Most likely the INDIGENOUS people of Romulus at the time of the Raptor Wings Vulcans' colonization of the Romulan system they discovered!
@@DMSProduktions disagree Remans are just the descendants of the telepathic members of the Romulans that were exiled to the mines of Remus and used as a slave labour caste. Living and breeding in such a harsh environment for generations would likely account for their other differences. Much like what happened on Ardana with the people of Stratos and the Troglytes.
@@IceWolfLoki Oooh idk. 2000 years isn't really enough for such grotesque 'evolutions'! I'm pretty sure the 'Remans' were the indigines of Romulus!

AAAAH So Naomi Wildman aged quicker , so thats why she seemed to go from 1 - 8 years old in three years, i just assumed they aged her quicker incase they didnt get more seasons lol
Vulcans are actually very emotional but they suppress most of it, or they would be similar to a bipolar human with very steep swop of emotions
Considering that Major Kira was able to carry Kirayoshi O’Brian to term, it would probably mean that Humans and Bajorans could also breed
I love how they acknowledged Nana Visitor’s pregnancy in the most Trek way possible. 😆
Minor point: Nikolai was Worf's *adoptive* brother, not his foster brother.
Side note: A Q once approached a human (Captain Janeway) with a proposal to produce a child. Implying such a hybrid was possible.
Well, the Q are omnipotent, as far as I know...
The Q don't even seem to need to do the whole vertical tango, so I'm assuming they are compatible with anything and everything. In fact I'd guess they mostly need something else to act as a template of sorts, so I guess a living mind is the only prerequisite.
@@Reddotzebra Well, as they are god-like creatures ("onmipotent"), a living mind can be everywhere they see fit...
Wasn't there a story about a Q human hybrid in some episode or TNG, but if was possible because he chose to give up his powers and have a baby with a human? Then the baby started showing some Q abilities later in life?
@@ANTSEMUT1 I think there was such an episode. But I don't know if it would have been a necessity to give up the powers to be able to mate with a human or if this was just a rule the Q have set up to prevent some sort of misuse of said powers.
"I'm not bipolar; I'm half Klingon" -Mama Pink
There's the "Inside Star Trek" record/CD which contains an interview of Gene Roddenberry with Mark Lenard in character as Sarek. In it, Sarek details the medical procedures involved with Spock's birth. Apparently, the embryo spent some time of the gestation period in a test-tube.
Accordings to "Spock's World" (by Diane Duane) Spock was more or less
genetically engineered in a laboratory because there is no natural way for humans and vulcans to
procreate
Like Trip told T'Pol. "You couldn't have had a baby since you were never pregnant." That didn't stop her from loking for her since she knew instinctively that the baby they later named Elizabeth was hers and Trip's. Instead of leaving that baby to die-like some mothers would do when they suspect there's something wrong with their baby-T'Pol returned with her baby to see if anything could be done and Phlox tried to save her-but couldn't-and T'Pol still grieved along with Trip.
@@virginiaconnor8350that's some real subtle anti-abortion rhetoric you got there. Always sad to see internalized misogyny at play.
I would love to see a video about the racism or lack thereof with mixed characters. For example how Starfleet usually calls mixed characters by their "alien" race instead of as a hybrid. Or internalized racism for example B'Elana's disdain for her Klingon heritage.
Judging from what I remember, I think early on they did (remember General Order 7 noted with 'Half-Vulcan Science Officer Spock' in TOS), and may have moved to 'Pick the one you prefer for forms'.
It seems less to be about racism and more just a distinction of species. Alien species tend to have more dominant genes. And we also see them generally raised by the alien culture rather than a human one.
@@Qaianna I'd say referring to Spock as "half Vulcan" may have stemmed from the fact that he was primarily on human ships. On a Vulcan run ship he would probably be referred to as "half human Starfleet Science Officer Spock" and on a ship run by neither, say... Andorians, they'd refer to him as "half human half asshole."
@@polarknight5376 Shran called Archer,Trip, and Reed "pink skins", but I didn't hear him call Travis, Hoshi or T'Pol anything. HD couldn't have called T'Pol "green-skin" as Orions were more green skinned than she was and she was quite fair-skinned even for a Vulcan-except for the bruises on her face.
@Virginia Connor In the books, Shran started to call Travis "pinkskin" and then paused awkwardly.

In the Enterprise episode with the future crew it is stated that Phlox specifically worked out the issues and made it possible for humans and vulcons to reproduce, of course that timeline doesn't exist anymore...
Also in the enterprise episode with the timeship the dead crew member was a hybrid of I believe 8 different alien species, 3 of which identified in the show and overall looked completely human
Kal Deno appears in STO. Among other things his DNA includes Human, Vulcan, and Lukari, with his non-corpse appearance showing the facial ridges of the Lukari/Kentari.
@@Janoha17 Oh that's pretty neat that he appeared in STO thanks for letting me know
I thought that the knowledge was shared with Dr Phlox at that point, it just never got used during the series.
In the book Star Trek Enterprise The First Adventure their is a blond haired, blue eyed vulcan that embraces emotions and performs circus acts. It’s probably just rare that vulcans have blond hair.
In 'The Forge', Cdr. T'Pol's hair was noticeably lighter, almost blonde with light brown and even some reddish highlights. I think this was her natural hair, not the darker hair in the first 2 seasons (I think she either changed her changed her shampoo or dyed her hair because she no longer needed the VHC disguise because she chose to also exchange the camouflague catsuits for the multicolored catsuits). I read that Jolene actually wore her own blonde hair only in the 'In A Mirror, Darkly' episode, but not 'Twilight' where it was also longer because the event probably also never occurred in real life.

I'd love to see a meeting of minds between Amanda Rogers (Q raised as Human), Jono (Human raised as Talarian) and Rugal (Cardassian raised by Bajorans), as well as the ones you mentioned here. They'd all have fascinating insights to share!
If you can get Charlie X from TOS in there I’m sure he will finally be socialized to be human. He needs a group like that to create social empathy. After all they are stronger than him in abilities with Amanda.
@@walterlyzohub8112 Very good idea! 🖖😊
Imagine Kingon Romulan hybrid. ....ohh wait
The Starfleet battles series FASA put out in the 90s covered this concept with a few characters.
Sample size is too small to come to any conclusion. I know a family where the kids are a mix of Scottish, Turkish and Japanese ethnicity, and they got one kid who looks Japanese and has a Scottish temper, one kid who looks Arab (?) and is the chillest kid I’ve even met and an absolute bonkers ginger kid with green eyes who could pass for a slightly tanned Scot. And they’re German, just to add an extra nationality into the confusion.
There was a Half-Caitian cadet in Starfleet as brought up by Lt. Evan Connolly in Discovery's episode, Brother. Alas, we never found out what the half-caitian was like, since he got splattered by an asteroid right after mentioning it.
14:47 that dude's human, he was adopted by the species who found him. Not a hybrid and shouldn't be counted.
now I can't stop thinking about a human-Tholian hybird
That kid from Deadpool 2
Sheliak-Tholian might be very slightly more likely.

@@connorfoley8114 No, I don't think so. ANY silica based life would not exist in carbon 'normal' environments. The extreme environments the Tholians evolved in would be COMMON to just about ANY silica based life!
Some other examples of Hybrids include: Neelix, who actually is a hybrid (7/8th Talaxian and 1/8th Mylean)
Apollo, who was half Human and half Olympian
Kal Dano, who has Human, Vulcan, Rigelian, Terrellian, and Lukari ancestry
And Half-Caitians, which are seen in Star Trek Into Darkness and mention in Star Trek Discovery.
And TAS, Enterprise had a fill in comms officer Lt. M'ress who was a full Catian! Purrrr! She was sexy! (In a yiffy kinda way!)
what about Bethany from the star trek enterprise episode north star Bethany was three quarters Human and a quarter Skagaran
Had a mental list going and you hit all of them. Surprised we never saw any Ferengi/Whatever hybrids since the Ferengi (at least the males) seemed dedicated to getting busy with any female of any species that came within sensor range. Also imagine a Klingon/Vulcan hybrid. Scary.
I wonder about a Ferengi and Human hybrid.
Actually there might be a small hint of medical manipulation to the birth of nayomi wildman. Her mom said there been trying for years and that it was difficult for them to get pregnant
Humans already have that problem with other humans. There is no evidence that it was because the child would be a hybrid but it could be a factor
I think it makes sense to think of Romulans and Vulcans as the same species with different cultures, given their history. The mental abilities are likely due to training and could be learned by Romulans if they took the time.
What about that ugly hybrid guy from the future who appeared on Enterprise? Daniels? He was from a dozen different species, as I recall.
I don't think there was ever any suggestion that he wasn't human. I believe you're confusing him with the dead pilot of the "TARDIS" they found in "Future Tense" (who was non-canonically Kal Dano, inventor of the Tox Uthat, according to Star Trek Online).
Honestly? Life Finds a Way was far less sappy than 'love conquers all', since, ya know, Earth has had a few major extinctions (and more than a few minor ones), yet it's still infested filthy organic matter, some examples of which are rumored to exhibit inelegance, but has yet to be proven by outside observation.
As for the whole Human/Klingon thing, well, there was that Augment virus incident, so the lingering affects of that probably play a part.

13:32 A viable conTRAception? We’re trying to stop them reproducing now? Lol

I always though Ba'el was so beautiful! One of my fave hybrids from Star Trek 💖
I believe Tom and B’Elanna were expecting some difficulty in conceiving, so it was a bit of a surprise to them how quickly she became pregnant with out any help.
She was half-human, so her DNA was more compatible with a full human then a full Klingon with a full human, must have helped.
It is such a wasted opportunity that we never got a Vulcan/Klingon character. I'm designing my tattoo with the Klingon Empire and Vulcan Confederacy symbols mixed together. Seems ridiculous to me that human is the species that seems to mix the best.
There’s probably some way - when we meet aliens - that we can exchange genetic material. Physical templates, obviously means what do you look like between the two or three species, and the mental. A bonding process that decides which side becomes more or less dominant for compatibility reasons but blends them when they can. Obviously a very sophisticated idea, I’m not an authority on the subject so don’t take me as gospel, but I do think hybridisation is possible even for seemingly incompatible species. I see it as simply a process of what can combine, what becomes dominant, what becomes recessive and what is lost and what’s needed to be replaced and what needs to be added to maintain cohesion for the healthiest outcome.
I'd love to see a klingon Ferengi hybrid or a Vulcan Bajoran.
If Quark and Grilka didn't divorce that could have happened.
My theory is that in cases of species that aren't close enough to interbreed without medical intervention, the father's traits are usually dominant, and as a result the hybrids can interbreed with their fathers' species. This is because the maternal DNA is altered enough to be compatible with the father's. Supporting evidence:
- Bashir said that Jadzia was responding well to treatments that would allow her to conceive with Worf. Seems logical, easier to tinker with one egg a month than a few billion spermatozoae per load.
- K'Ehleyr vs. B'Elana. The former looked far more Klingon than the latter and conceived with Worf without medical intervention. The latter had less pronounced Klingon traits and conceived with Paris.
- Spock vs. Lorien. Lorien looked and behaved far more human than Spock (and likely had red blood). Spock was expected to marry a Vulcan and presumably father children.
Of course some species are apparently compatible through some genetic fluke, despite their massive differences in biology. Klingons and Romulans, for example. Also, Cardassians and Bajorans - it's possible that they had a similar variety of the precursor seed gene thanks to their planets' relative proximity. Others (e.g. humans and Betazoids) are just close enough that hybridization is fairly easy. But in most of the medically engineered hybrids the father's traits are stronger.
An Interesting fact. Paternal Genes are more dominant compared to Maternal Genes.
So your theory does actually have a bit of weight.
What I'm wondering is if all species have compatible mitochondria.
@@fenrisvermundr2516 in reality paternal genes are not more dominant though. Dominance depends on other things.
Imagine what the students have to learn in biology class in the 24th century...
Actually, no, it is not easier to tinker with eggs than sperm. The egg supplies everything, including the mitochondrial DNA, the sperm only supplies DNA. Plus there is no need of millions of spermatozoa. Have you heard of Introcytoplasmic Sperm Injection? Apart from the hybridisation being totally scientifically unsupportable, I think, the therapy Dax ( and probably all mothers of hybrid children got) is to make her immune system tolerate a child with so different that her DNA ( incompatibility can happen even with completely human DNA- think Rh- mother and Rh+ child). You see, I am still trying to get my head around it :) Better not to think, it goes against everything I know about what species is and how reproduction works.
Everybody gangsta until they reveal the klingon-bolian crewmember in the next series
1:00 Because, science.
Jospeh Kirk...Human, Klingon, Romulan hybrid.
Growing up a trekkie, I remember my mom calling Naomi the Dinosaur child. 😂 Now, for some reason, I either can't remember Naomi's name or I have mixed it up with her moms. I have one brain cell. I like to rub it against the carpet and see what happens.😅
Cool story bro.
Sela never made any sense to me. Picard makes it very clear that Romulans are racist against humans, her existence would never happen.
I did wonder how Naomi went from being born to a young child in such a short amount of time.
Also very well researched video and a topic I enjoy thinking about.
Hey Rick, on this subject (or related to it), I forgot how Human augment DNA got incorporated into the Klingon genome, thus explaining why in TOS Klingons look more like humans. Beleive it or not I've got a MS in molecular biology (which I've only used breifly for employment purposes (2001-2005)).
Doesn't anyone get a proper medical when they enter starfleet?
Even early 21st century DNA testing should identify the difference between a Vulcan and Romulan. We can identify Neanderthal DNA in modern humans.
You forgot crewman Daniel from ENT. He had many centuries of mixed DNA in him, but looked completely human.
I'd like to see a Klingon-Vulcan hybrid.
In Star Trek: ENT episode called "Terra Nova", the hybrid baby Elizabeth was created and depending upon the outcome whether a 5th season of Enterprise was green lit or not, it would determine if Elizabeth would live or die. Sadly, as the 5th season was cancelled officially, it meant that Elizabeth had to die.
You want to know why so many species in star trek are genetically compatible, watch the TNG episode "the chase".
There I just saved you 15 minutes
But the episode is 45 minutes and doesn't get to the point until the end. How is that a timesaver?
@@d.b.4671 Because you get to watch a brilliant TNG episode and learn a little bit of ancient galactic history
Plot Twist: All Star Trek species are Asari
I want to make a hybrid species with Human and Tholian.
@@kennethrapp1379 I wonder about the environmental requirements. I think it wouldn't be that high as an ordinary Tholian and not as low as an ordinary Human. I think 100-150° Celsius would be comfortable for the offspring. Tholians are my favourite species (as a spider lover).
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! KILL ME!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!! I SHOULD NOT BE!!!!!!!!!!! DEAR GOD EVERY SECOND OF LIFE IS NOTHING BUT HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
- First words uttered by Carl, the first Human Tholian hybrid-
@@climberly I think we've got bigger issue here. Father's uhm... substance will be vaporised before impregnating a Tholian. On the other hand, mother's uhm... interior will be cooked from the inside if she holds a Tholian-Human hybrid baby.
@@cmdrtianyilin8107 you make a good point. but we can always tuvix them together to make an abomination of nature worthy of janeways ire.
What about a Tholian-Breen hybrid?
Awesome how when you said "broccoli" you showed Lt Reg "Broccoli" Barclay, a nickname even used by Captain Picard
My guess is that it might not be a hybrid species at all, but instead a sort of "emulation" of incoming genetic material using whatever craziness the Progenitors/Seeders used to amplify the likelyhood of a humanoid form.
The way they may have seeded the humanoid form might not even be genetic in nature but instead a "reality hack" that encourages mutations towards a certain type of form and anatomy regardless of surroundings.
Scorpius from farscape is good inversion of superior hybrid trope
Personally, I think the whole half-breed concept in Star Trek is rubbish. Humans are more genetically compatible with a cockroach than anything off world.
And I can't accept the concept of the "Progenitors" either, simply because if it was the case, then Earth (and every other planet) would look a lot more like Zootopia with every animal becoming humanoid.
I hope Star Trek eventually retcons these ridiculous concepts out of its mythos.
You missed Andrew Kim, quarter Ocampan. Even then he's got the rapid lifespan, meaning Ocampan DNA must be very aggressive.
Oh, and Daniels from Enterprise. He's 'mostly human', but possibly has a dozen alien ancestors.
It would be rough to marry an Ocampan... you could live longer than your grandchildren...
@@ManicPandaz As I recall the Ocompan hybrids aged slower than pure OCompans, but faster than humans. Pure Ocompan might live 10 years, half 20m, quarter 30-40?
@RetroRobotRadio I know. Humans can live into a hundred in TNG. Paris was in his 30s. He could see his grandson die at the age of 80, that’s rough.
If I remember from the books, there was a half-vulcan who was more human than vulcan as well.
Binary Cloning, the only two species we know can naturally procreate, outside of the obvious Vulcans and Romulans, are Bajorans and Cardassians, and according to some theories they share a common ancestor.
I was going to mention that about Bajoran/Cardassian. It's massive apocryphal conjecture, but not absurd what with how Star Trek biology has not a damn thing in common with reality.
3:17)I often asked, "Who was K'Ehleyr's father?". There was 6 "The Captain's Table" books. A Capts only bar. Capts from different times.They could not reveal any one's future. A Klingon woman knowing of Pike's future accident spent a night with him. Kirk's nephew got involved with a Klingon woman. Kirk explored strange new women.
10:45)There's one possible reason for Bruta's forehead. After series books explained why the ST:TOS Klingon were not the same. The ST:TOS Klingons were the result of a science experiment escaping the lab. A vaccine was developed & sprayed over the cities. Could be that his ancestors and he were not "cured" completely?
Spock seems to get 99% of his DNA and internal organ arrangement from his father. The Vulcan heart is in a different location. Totally different blood. Does that really work even 200 years from now? Not likely.
Spock's Vulcan-Human genetics makes for great drama but biologically the whole idea is absurd.
Vulcan genes are dominant?
@@KateeAngel Evidently, green Vulcan blood beats out red Human blood
@@Chuck_Hooks This is somewhat ironic since generally copper-based oxygen transport proteins are less efficient than iron-based hemoglobin.
Hmm. I follow too much non-canon content, I guess...in that, Spock was actually planned gentically because the hybrid *wasn't* possible naturally.
Not exactly a hybrid, but in DS9 Kira was able to act a surrogate mother for Keiko & Obrian's child, although her Bajoran physiology meant the baby could not be transferred back and had to be carried to term.
Best channel on You tube ,shame I don't play S T online ,but still
^agreed, it's free and a fun game. I haven't played in months though.
I switched to Linux for my gaming desktop so I actually am not sure if I can even run sto anymore on it anymore..
@Necroglobule You can also grind Dilithium for zen and buy ship that way.
@@prisk1970 You can't run STO normally on GNU-Linux. (I know because I also uses GNU-Linux, I'm still waiting for it. ) Try dual booting or using a virtual machine.
@@aiosquadron thank you. I will have to look into that. I LOVE linux, I wish more games ran on it without having to do work arounds
The Romulan/Vulcan ear trait is always dominant, Worf found out that she was "Romulan" when he "Romantically" moved her hair back and saw her ears
Based on how DNA works I wouldn't think you can make too many conclusions from a few individuals other then it's possible.
Based on DNA this concept is a horrifying one
@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231 Far fetched sure but horrifying? Why?
@@lucidmoses because the amount of viruses that could easily jump species because of this yet most species wont be adapted to would be immense
@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231 Well, that's an interesting angle on the topic. As seen on earth it wouldn't really be a problem but in scifi land where the DNA would be so incredibly close, enough for mating then yea, virus transfer would be viable. Worse yet. Our internal bacteria that we live comfortably with may not be so symbiotic raising all kinds of issues. I see why you (many) would find that horrifying. I guess I can't get past the whole outrageously ridiculous idea of interbreeding when it's not even guaranteed amongst two humans where it's suppose to work.
@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231 The Andorian flu is already an in-universe example of this.
Surprised you didn't mention the future mostly-human occupant of the time-pod *cough*TARDIS*cough encountered in ENT: "Future Tense."
According to "new" canon Spock inherited the human learning condition of dyslexia, which didn't exist in the Vulcan gene pool until Spock existed.
So is he also a demigod?
When it comes to love, resistance is futile.
This has *always* bothered me about Trek. I learned in evolutionary biology class *way* back in college that different species *cannot* produce viable offspring. Additionally, in reality there is *no* reason why alien species would be compatible, Progenitors or not.
I think it's a beta canon thing, but apparently the Cardassians (or more correctly, the Hebitians) were an offshoot of the Bajorans whose more 'reptilian' features were an adaptation to Cardassia's more difficult climate.
This was always the silliest part of star trek. At least in babylon 5, the child of decent and Sheridan was made possible because of the advanced genetic manipulation of the two species by the vorlons. I can't think of any other interspecies breeding in babylon 5.
Agreed. Absolute rubbish but writers can only think about sex with aliens.
